I used the hurricanes for my system as well. I had one on my old system and found that 4" was about right below bottom surface of the boiling vessel. Mounted all 3 on the new system at that height and they work perfectly. When the burner is at full open, the flames just start touching the...

I'm only slightly jealous. Wife and I are planning a 10 day trip to Belgium next year. Can't wait!

I'll give it a shot on a couple of "high profile" qd's and see how that works out. I'll probably do it to all of them based on what I heard here. Thanks. Bill

I just put together a new system and incorporated the polysulfone qd's. While moving the liquid from the kettle to the fermenter for the first batch, the qd's got clogged once with some hop and break material. Has anybody drilled out the little cross that is cast into the fittings? I'm thinking...

Found HBT during several searches on the web. Seems every time I have a question, the answer is here. So, I figured I should probably join... Been brewing for a while and am in the middle of building a new rig. Not much for taking pictures, so I have nothing to offer at the moment. Sorry
